MITRE demoing new ‘Google Maps’ for federal acquisition

A new digital acquisition platform from not-for-profit technology research and development organization MITRE Corporation is intended to demonstrate how replacing a one-size-fits-all approach with customizable road maps can deliver systems and services faster.

Developed by Pete Modigliani of MITRE’s National Security Engineering Center and Su Chang of MITRE’s Center for Acquisition Management and Science, the ACQUIRE platform uses targeted guidance to accelerate proficiency and efficiency by curating the best resources from dozens of sites and converted static references into a one-stop shop.

The ability to quickly navigate requirements and optimize learning, and therefore design-making, time helps avoid circumstances where the acquisition could become obsolete as it clears the bureaucratic process.
